We're so pleased to announce that local actor Dean Holt will be the storyteller for Medalist Concert Band's performance of Wild Symphony. Holt is a movement-based theatre artist and storyteller and has appeared and collaborated on more than 120 productions with an amazing array of talented artists, both onstage and off, during his 30-year career. Highlights include exploring the silent-movie world of Buster Keaton in REELING, and tearing up the stage as the mouse in IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE and the bear in CORDUROY. Dean is a member of Children's Theatre Company's Core Acting Company and is the recipient of two Ivey Awards as well as the Alumni Achievement Award from St. John’s University for work in his field.
